From my research, I have found that using RAMdisk for SSD in Windows 7 doesn’t work fine. Windows 7 and Windows XP need RAM to store the temporary data. Also to make the RAMdisk drive persistent, one has to keep an image of the drive ready which will keep writing the data in the image as soon as the drive on computer is updated. One of the main properties of RAMdisk is that it reduces write cycles in the system. But Windows 7 needs to keep maintaining cache which requires having write cycles. Also Windows 7 and XP need to maintain a paging file which is utilized by the games and many applications. These paging files cannot be stored in SSD. To have a SSD in one’s system with Windows 7 or Windows XP, one needs to have a big RAM, maybe around 8 GB. What do other people think about it?
